im not exactly up to scratch on proxies and dont really understand them.
any help please?
There are MANY MANY ways, but for a simple way, check:
$SERVER['HTTP_FORWARDED']
$SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']
$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']
Most basic proxies will fill one of these in with the client's ip address. This should work most of the time.
